For reasons, it would be best for me to put my 3d printers in my basement laundry room and I don't know enough to start cutting holes in the wall. Seems the simple solution is to build a new enclosure around my printers and then get a Y splitter for the dryer exhaust and let the fumes get sucked out that way. I don't know fairly little about airflow, but I imagine if I just did exactly that I would either be blowing noxious fumes into my clothes dryer, or if the dryer was running it would blow moist air and lint into my printer enclosure. I'd rather not fuck with any kind of manual flaps or valves or anything especially since I dont want to plan doing laundry around when my printer is running or vice versa, if those kinds of things even exist because I'm sure you're not normally supposed to add extra shit onto a dryer's exhaust. And since there's lint that'll be flying around in the exhaust that probably makes rigging something with a fan or a valve or anything ineffective or even hazardous is there any hope to this idea
>>2968708No. It is a fucking terrible idea. Just run the exhaust out a window. Cut a piece of wood to size to block up the window, cut a hole in the wood, and run the printer exhaust to that hole.

You should put a valve at the junction to switch between 3d printer and dryer. Helped by a small fan at the top of the pipe to draw the 3d printer fumes up and out. I can't see a problem with it. Such valves exist either butterfly valve or a slide valve.
>>2968708there is already a thread about dryer venting. find that thread and read it, it will answer your question.
I put 2 dryers in my house, ran venting for both under my addition and out. Just run another vent. You probably dont want lint going into your printer.
